Liver stiffness quantification in biopsy-proven nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients using shear wave elastography in comparison with transient …
2021
Purpose: This study prospectively assessed the performance of liver stiffness measurements using point shear-wave elastography (p-SWE) in comparison with transient elastography (TE) in patients with biopsy-proven nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods: Fifty-six consecutive adult patients with a histological diagnosis of NAFLD prospectively underwent TE and p-SWE on the same day. The median of 10 measurements (SWE-10), the first five (SWE-5), and the first three (SWE-3) measurements were analyzed for p-SWE. Liver biopsy was considered as the reference standard for liver fibrosis grade. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and areas under the ROC curves (AUROCs) were cal…
Phase-delayed laser diode array allows ultrasonic guided wave mode selection and tuning
2013
Selecting and tuning modes are useful in ultrasonic guided wave non-destructive testing (NDT) since certain modes at various center frequencies are sensitive to specific types of defects. Ideally one should be able to select both the mode and the center frequency of the launched waves. We demonstrated that an affordable laser diode array can selectively launch either the S0 or A0 ultrasonic wave mode at a chosen center frequency into a polymer plate. A fiber-coupled diode array (4 elements) illuminated a 2 mm thick acrylic plate. A predetermined time delay matching the selected mode and frequency was employed between the output of the elements. The generated ultrasound was detected by a 215…

Insight into mechanisms of creatinine optical sensing using fluorescein-gold complex
2022
Abstract Creatinine level in biological fluids is a clinically relevant parameter to monitor vital functions and it is well assessed that measuring creatinine levels in the human body can be of great utility to evaluate renal, muscular, or thyroid dysfunctions. The accurate detection of creatinine levels may have a critical role in providing information on health status and represents a tool for the early diagnosis of severe pathologies. Among different methods for creatinine detection that have been introduced and that are evolving with increasing speed, fluorescence-based and colorimetric sensors represent one of the best alternatives, thanks to their affordability, sensitivity and easy r…
Las formas cotidianas de la felicidad y sus mandatos: Pedagogías del pensamiento positivo, trabajo docente y subjetividad en el neoliberalismo contem…
2020
Positive thinking constitutes one of the great traditions that lead to the idea of the subject as an entrepreneur of himself and is perhaps one of the best that has successfully condensed cultural, political, social and pedagogical processes linked to reflection on well-being in this historical time. The teaching work is especially moved by the pregnancy of these perspectives that challenge the pedagogical field and the education workers as ?agents of change, or at least one more school available to give the discussion on well-being and happiness (yours and the students?) is celebrated and encouraged. In this article, I intend to understand what is being built as pedagogical discourses abou…
Zāļu pieejamība
2019
Maģistra darba tēma ir „Zāļu pieejamība”. Neskatoties uz plašu medikamentu piedāvājumu Latvijā, joprojām ir aktuālszāļu piejamības jautājums. Maģistra darba mērķis ir noskaidrotfarmācijas speciālistu un pacientu viedokļus par zāļu pieejamību aptiekās. Informācija ir iegūta no datu bāzēm, publikācijām, normatīvajiem aktiem, statistikas datiem, aptaujām. Darbs veikts LU Medicīnas fakultātē Farmācijas maģistra programmā.
Ārsta un farmaceita sadarbība pacientu aprūpē
2016
Sakārtota un pieejama veselības aprūpes sistēma valstī, var ievērojami uzlabot dzīves kvalitāti un nodrošināt valsts izaugsmi un konkurētspēju. Tomēr, kā zināms, svarīgs nosacījums šajā procesā ir arī pašu sistēmas dalībnieku iniciatīvai, viņu izrādītā vēlme uz sadarbību, vienotu mērķu sasniegšanai. Aktuāli ir noskaidrot kāda ir šī brīža situācija valstī, vai ārstiem un farmaceitiem ir vēlme šo komunikāciju uzlabot. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot vai pastāv ārstu un farmaceitu sadarbība pacientu aprūpē. Lai mērķi sasniegtu vajadzēja izpildīt uzdevumus – analizēt pieejamo latviešu un ārzemju literatūru un dažādus normatīvos aktus, anketēt ārstus un farmaceitus, analizēt iegūtos datus, …

Sperimentazione di una procedura per la creazione di un atlante digitale per la documentazione dei soffitti lignei dipinti di Sicilia
2021
The naves of churches and the halls of noble palaces. The paintings that decorate these ceilings are precious evidence of the wide cultural connections that linked Sicily to Europe and to the Mediterranean area. The paper reports the results of research aiming at the development of a workflow for the creation of a digital atlas of these ceilings. Digital representation overcomes one of the main obstacles to the study, the preservation and the dissemination of these works of art, i.e. the traditional dichotomy between photographic images and drawings. The chosen case study is the ceiling that covers the main hall of the Steri in Palermo, a 14th-century palace that today hosts the offices of …
